EdgeRouter - Built-in Dynamic DNS

Configuring the Built-in Dynamic DNS Service

Back to Top

The following Dynamic DNS services are available for use in EdgeOS:

• Afraid Requires server to be hard-coded.
• Dnspark
• Dslreports
• dyndns
• Easydns
• Namecheap
• Noip
• Sitelutions Requires serial number to be set as the hostname.
• Zoneedit

See the Custom Dynamic DNS article for instructions on how to configure a custom Dynamic DNS service.

1. Enter configuration mode.

configure

2. Add the Dynamic DNS service and the login credentials.

set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> host-name <host>
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> login <username>
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> password <password>

3.  Configure the location of the Dynamic DNS server.

set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> server <server>

4. Commit the changes and save the configuration.

commit ; save ; exit

You can verify the status and force an update of the Dynamic DNS service using the commands below:

show dns dynamic status
update dns dynamic interface <interface-name>

By default, EdgeOS will only update Dynamic DNS when the IP address actually changes.
